Twitter Had A Lot Of Fun Imagining Jeb Bush In English Class

The former governor of Florida’s controversial comments in his 1995 book sparked a hypothetical debate on Twitter.

One of the reasons more young women are giving birth out of wedlock and more young men are walking away from their paternal obligations is that there is no longer a stigma attached to this behavior, no reason to feel shame. Many of these young women and young men look around and see their friends engaged in the same irresponsible conduct. Their parents and neighbors have become ineffective at attaching some sense of ridicule to this behavior. There was a time when neighbors and communities would frown on out of wedlock births and when public condemnation was enough of a stimulus for one to be careful.

"Infamous shotgun weddings and Nathaniel Hawthorne's Scarlet Letter are reminders that public condemnation of irresponsible sexual behavior has strong historical roots."

To All "Game Of Thrones" Book-Readers: The End Is Nigh

RIP our knowledge. Spoilers for all published A Song of Ice and Fire books.

Look, A Song of Ice and Fire readers who also like Game of Thrones. It's time to give up. We can count and the numbers don't look good.

Bantam Books / Via geekireland.com

The show is going to overtake the books, and it's going to do it next season. The show's already doing it now! We're out of book content, and the showrunners are out of fucks.

I mean sure, we've got some Oldtown stuff to do with Sam and MAYBE the entire Iron Islands plot to get through, but once season 5 wraps up we're toast.

So let's gird our loins for whatever Season 6 will bring us, and pour one out for those we have lost along the way:

Mamrie Hart, YouTube's cocktail superstar, recently published a book all about her "boozy misadventures."

You Deserve A Drink is chock full of her best drinking stories. Each chapter comes with a corresponding recipe, so it feels a lot like the book version of watching her hilarious videos.

Mamrie has nearly a million subscribers on YouTube, and it's easy to see why.

Her videos are filled with delightful puns about your favorite celebrities or hot topics; plus, each vid comes with its own drinking game so you can rewatch and play along.

The book is just as entertaining as the channel, with the added perk of getting to know Mamrie a bit more. It has some truly outrageous stories which can serve as either cautionary tales or inspirational advice.

While her language and jokes may get wild, her book and channel are all about accepting who you are without being afraid to poke fun at yourself.

We're Going To Learn More About The American Hogwarts In "Fantastic Beasts"

J.K. Rowling tweeted about the American Wizarding school that plays a role in Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them.

Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them, the Harry Potter spin-off movie that fans are waiting *very* patiently to see, doesn't hit theaters until November 2016.

The film — which is based on the book written by Rowling — takes place 70 years prior to the Harry Potter story we're already familiar with. It revolves around the story of Newt Scamander, a famous Magizoologist and the author of Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them which was the required text for the Care of Magical Creatures course at Hogwarts.

But thanks to J.K. Rowling's Twitter account (aka the gift that keeps on giving), we have a little more insight into the unnamed school of witchcraft and wizardry in America.

When Harry walks through the camp site at the Quidditch World Cup, he saw American witches from The Salem Witches' Institute. Not to mention, in a 2000 interview someone asked Rowling if Americans could attend Hogwarts. She replied, "No, they have their own school. You'll find out in Book 4. Hogwarts just serves Britain and Ireland."

17 Things Every Freelance Writer Is Tired Of Hearing

Thanks, but I already have a “real job.”

"Have you tried [marketing, PR, or any other profession]?"

Have you tried astrophysics? Museum management? Professional snowboarding? Plenty of freelance writers have considered or tried out other jobs; choosing this one wasn't an accident.

"Don't you get lonely?"

Sure. I'm human. But there are plenty of ways to meet people besides working in an office with them. And one perk to freelancing is that the only people I have to see on a daily basis are the ones I consciously choose to have in my life, not the ones who just happen to sit in the next cubicle over.

"What do you do with all your free time?"

Do you mean the free time I have when I'm not working on something for one of the sixteen publications I write for?

"Want to run this errand for me?"

My work schedule may be flexible, but contrary to popular belief, I'm actually not just sitting on my couch all day, twiddling my thumbs while I wait for you to let me walk your dog!
